176 visuelle Kompositionen, das Projekt »TypoLyrics – The Sound of Fonts« ist im Birkhäuser Verlag erschienen. In 11 Kapiteln werden verschiedene Musik-Genres von Klassik bis Krautrock, von Swing bis Punk mit geläufigen Schriftgattungen und zeitgenössischen Font-Designs konfrontiert.
The punk movement of the 70s influenced not just the music scene, but also the visual worlds of art and graphic design. The art featured a do-it-yourself approach, reflecting the anti-establishment sentiments of the rough, unrefined rock music popular at that time. These designs exude a sense of rawness in the overall look or in the means of the production.
Design and music – a partnership that goes together like Simon & Garfunkel, Hall & Oates, Captain & Tennille. Without one, the other may just pale into insignificance.
